Explanation:

The question asks us to check all the details that reveal the plot of this story. There are, thus, three correct options, B, D, and E. In this excerpt of "The Storyteller", the kids are on a train carriage, feeling bored and restless. Their aunt, in a desperate attempt to quiet them down, begins to tell them a story. There is a man in the carriage with them, who has been growing more and more annoyed by the children's behavior. Now, he too is paying attention to the story being told.

She wants them to understand that good behavior leads to good rewards: [..] story about a little girl who was good, and  made friends with every one on account of her goodness,  and was finally saved from a mad bull by a number of  rescuers who admired her moral character.
